First Salish Sea Science Prize awarded

Ken Balcomb of the Center for Whale Research has been awarded the first Salish Sea Science Prize.

This is the first and only award of its kind, and comes with a $2,000 cash award given to recognize work that has resulted in the improved conservation of marine wildlife and the Salish Sea marine ecosystem.

The Salish Sea Science Prize will be bestowed biennially by the SeaDoc Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the Salish Sea ecosystem. The award is given in recognition of, and to honor the spirit of the late Stephanie Wagner, who loved the region and its wildlife.

Why our work matters

Healthy ecosystems support economic prosperity. The Salish Sea provides abundant natural capital that contributes substantially to the financial prosperity of the region. Unhealthy ecosystems cost money because we lose the opportunity to benefit from them. The Salish Sea's deteriorating health threatens our economic well being and quality of life. SeaDoc uses science to find solutions to the problems facing the fish, wildlife and people of the Salish Sea.
